Grievous, a Star Wars Story

The Beast of Steel

The two jedi stared in shock as Grievous stood there. The expressions on their faces was one of fear, disbelief and confusion. Grievous let out a hacking cough which morphed into a laugh. It was deep and loud. Grievous emitted a commanding aura. The two jedi felt compelled to kneel even though they knew they had to fight him. 

"I will enjoy the sight of both of you dying! Slowly I will rid the galaxy of the evil scum known as the Jedi order. They ruined my home planet and for that they shall pay! Starting with you two." 

A nasty snarl escaped from grievous almost as if his hatred boiled over. The two jedi dodged out of the way as Grievous swung at them both. He decided to pursue the younger padawan in order to take out the weakest link first. Master Liiv went a different direction and forced jumped off into the trees and disappeared from view. 

"This is almost too easy, I'll almost feel bad when I slaughter you." Grievous remarks.

 His two blue sabers swing in perfect succession, always on the offensive. Feaaru struggles to defend himself, backing away. He counters a diagonal swing to his right side, Grievous' defense opening up. He stabs forward, hoping for a solid hit but Grievous swiftly dodges out of the way, the lightsaber blade only grazing his armor. 

"Ha! The jedis' skills are pathetic! Soon they will all be crushed by my hand." 

Grievous' ego grows by the second as the fight goes on. His swings become larger and more powerful, nearly breaking through the jedi's strong defense. Feaaru starts to lose stamina and the weight of the lightsaber felt heavier with each block. He nearly trips over some debris but balances himself. He force pushes Grievous and jumps away on to a tree branch.  He hops from tree branch to tree branch, hoping to create some distance between himself and the terrifying cyborg behind him. 

General Grievous pursues quickly behind, uinsg his powerful cybernetic legs to jump insane distances, similar to the force jump of a jedi. He stays steadily on course behind Feaaru, not tiring at all. However, he does make sure to remain stealthy, making as little noise as possible and moving behind the cover of huge leaves or shadows. He sees the padawan meet up with Liiv at a small pond in the forest. 

"I think I lost that...... thing master. I forced pushed it then escaped through the trees. He couldn't possibly get me." Feaaru says, still nervous and jumpy from the fight.

"Good good, we can rest for a while here. I'll request for reinforcements, I have a feeling this won't be the last time we see the cyborg general."

Grievous quietly laughs to himself quietly as he looks over them on a tree branch. 

A shadow passes over the heads of the two jedi, catching the eye of Feaaru, who looks around. Liiv calls for clone reinforcements that are stationed nearby. Leaves rustle around them and panic sets in for the padawan. He ignites his lightsaber and gets in form 6 stance. 

Suddenly, a saber erupts from his chest as he looks down. A feeling of weakness and intense pain erupts from the stab wound. The padawan collapses, the blade making a lucky strike right through his heart. His last breath is raspy and strained and his eyes go still. His master spots Grievous just as the blade retracts. 

"NO!" Liiv yells. With a burst of anger he lifts Grievous up, crushing his armor plating and damaging whatever organs remained. "YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID!" He cries, throwing Grievous into a boulder, knocking him out temporarily. Liiv runs to his padawan, cradling his limp body in his arms. "No, no, no, no! It can't be, I prepared you! It wasn't even supposed to be a difficult mission! How did it all go wrong? No. I can't let that thing get away with this, not today, not ever again. No jedi will ever suffer the pain I have!" He backs away as Grievous comes to his senses and wakes up. He ignites his bright green saber, the light reflecting in his eyes while a steely gaze replaces a look of anger and sadness. He dashes toward Grievous, opening up with a diagonal slash towards Grievous' left side. Grievous barely lifts up his saber in time and his blue blade clashes with the Jedi's green. The light glows against the cold metal of Grievous' faceplate and armor. Grievous swings using both his sabers and Liiv counters both strikes, dodging under and stabbing upwards, but misses, stumbling a little.

"You stand no chance. Looks like all your teachings failed you after all."Grievous says. 

Then, Grievous stands taller, his arms separate and grabs two more green lightsabers. Liiv backs away, eyes in shock as the odds of him winning grow slim. He knows that his defense will have to be flawless in order to escape or survive. Grievous starts spinning his green lightsabers, advancing forward. The lightsabers scratch and scorch the ground, bright marks illuminating all around the two combatants. His four arms begins a flurry of lightning fast strikes, almost impossible to see, whizzing all around the jedi master in perfect succession. Liiv backs away, blocks and dodges around the furious swings, narrowly avoiding losing arms or legs. He waits for an opportunity to counterattack and finds it. Grievous makes a wild swing from the right side. Liiv dodges, moving to the outside of Grievous and slices off one of Grievous' arms. He smiles, standing steady again as Grievous continues his attack, but only with three arms this time. 

"You are trying to wear me down with your constant attacks, right?" Liiv asks his opponent.

"It does not matter, as long as you die!" Grievous responds, full of rage. His eyes squint as he presses the offensive harder than before. 

Grievous slashes downward and Liiv dodges. He jumps behind grievous, hoping to catch a lucky strike but Grievous swings around his leg and catches Liiv's hand in his crushing grip. The sound of the bones cracking and his painful scream fills the air. His lightsaber falls to the ground. He tries to pull away but Grievous holds on tight, hoping to end the fight here. Grievous raises both his blue sabers preparing to kill the jedi master. Grievous suddenly hears sound similar to air rushing out of a room. Grievous is lifted up into the air, armor starting to crack and bend. He sees the jedi using force crush. The jedi uses his anger and pain to crush Grievous, temporarily using dark side emotions. The air starts to heat up, and grass catches on fire around them. Grievous almost gets ignited but at the last second throws his lightsaber at the raging jedi, slicing him in half just like how Maul was defeated on Naboo. 

"Even all of your force powers couldn't stop the inevitable. The Jedi will fall at last!"

Grievous recoils from the injuries he sustained in the battle. He stands up, collects the new green lightsaber and sinks into the shadow of the forest. 

So, what do you readers think? It was a little bit hard to accurately describe a lightsaber fight but that concludes the first big battle in the story. I hope anyone who reads this enjoys and keeps on reading!
